With Disney’s legendary attention to detail, the re-imagined California Grill debuts today, and it’s all new: expansive onstage kitchen and sushi bar, lighting, beautiful tabletop ware and linens … except for the spectacular view out new windows, you might not recognize the place.

Though you’ll be happy to see familiar faces, as many of the team are back, including Chef Brian Piasecki, who spent months creating new tastes for the menu. And while he’s added delicious new ideas for the wood-burning oven (three-meat signature meatballs, baked jumbo prawns, roasted clams), the much-requested flatbreads are back, but with a crisper crust and fresh toppings, like this simple version with roasted beefsteak tomatoes, Mozzarella di Bufala and a drizzle of aged balsamic.

If you can’t make it to the restaurant, here’s a version you can make at home, with a video showcasing Chef Brian’s flatbread-making talents in his new California Grill kitchen.

I love when you post recipes from the parks and resorts! Thank you! Any chance of getting the recipe for the Sticky Ribs and Soba Noodle Salad served in the Hearthstone Lounge at the Grand Californian at the DLR?

We enjoyed the parks blog meet up last night, and the new California Grill is well worth the wait. The newly renovated restaurant still maintains it’s breathtaking views while adding an exciting new menu, a abundance of wines and might I add a tasty sake martini. My new favorite is that 3 meat meatball, I think I need that for dinner alone. The Oak Fired Beef and Pork was delicious also, and the desserts were fun and innovative. I cant wait to dine her again.
